Need help choosing park skis

Thing is I need a pair of short and soft park skis, which I will be using to learn spins and busting on rails.

I already have new Scratch FS WRS 181, which I've already tried and love using all-mountain and which are my everyday ski and have absolutely no problem handling them, except in jumps. I also have Seth Vicious in 179 for powder days.

So I want shorter and softer skis since I'm new to doing rails and spins and cause I suck horse's ass in park.

I can only choose between these 06/07 models, cause I can get them for practically the same price and such a low price that getting them used wouldn't make any sense:

- K2 Silencer 169
- Volkl Dogen 168
- Nothin' But Trouble 165 (skeptic, cause I know they suck on rails)

I'm 5'10, 175 and all turning green,purple and orange by now...I KNOW: Short skis are gay and I hate snow blades.

Thank you in advance for all your help!

yeah maybe its best to concerve your money as its gonna be hard to find a ski that will make yo good at park more than the scratch- i think maybe you should be looking more towards your technique/style than a new pair of skis.
if you are really hell bent on getting new ones id say armada t-halls fit your bill

dude 06/07 invaders are 300 bucks same as silencer and would top all of those in park, soft, short-178 for you and they would be easy to handle
